"...you're just gonna love this CD. It's not so much a reflection of hard working blue collar music as it is, but a reflection of hard nosed, truth in writing. This is where Doop hit's the proverbial "nail on the head". This isn't rocket science, but Doop can hold his head high knowing that he has made himself look like one in writing one of the most complete CD's I have heard in this town for some time, clearly out mastering the would be and self chest beating artists out there. Now, this is in writing, lyrically speaking."
Michael Raffin
True country music loyalists rejoice! “Blood River,” the debut album by Doop and the Inside Outlaws, has more twang than you can shake a stick at, but it packs enough wallop to not be categorized as a “tear in my beer” country album. ?Hailing from River Rogue, Mich., this album rocks harder than most country CD’s I’ve heard. There's attitude a plenty.-Ray Anderson –The Celebrity Café.com
?”Blood River by Doop & The Inside Outlaws is the real deal -- a raw, honest mix of workingman's country and rock 'n' roll from the heartland that swaggers like The Waco Brothers.”-Cat -Radio Free Americana.com DJ
These guys keep it down home while keeping it interesting. Doop and the gang not only mix traditional, alt, so-rock, and more modern country songs across this album, they seamlessly blend elements from all within the same tracks.Grab a PBR, slide it in your gamecock coozie and enjoy, y’all!- Redneck Matt -Hillbilly Heaven Radio
I proclaim his album Blood River to be one of the best I've heard in who knows how long. Keep this album in your player and the track skip button will get dusty.?There's authentic soul and heart in each track, so much so that it pours out the speakers.- Keath- Rocksellout.com
“Blood River”is full of great tunes and energy, brutal honesty and good storytelling. This is a fine CD by a guy who is obviously a talented songwriter. It also sounds like the Inside Outlaws collective is working to insure that we have fine music and good songwriters to listen to for a long time! - Don Zelazny- Americanaroots.com
These guys are the real deal, too. For those that may live in the kind of small town described via the CD's title track, this down and dirty escapism music will sound great in Hybidmagzine.com
This week two stellar CDs made the cut as additions to the Americana Roots radio station playlist. They are the latest from Teddy Thompson and Doop & The Inside Outlaws “Blood River” Don “Doop” Duprie and the Inside Outlaws dish up country-rock and Americana with energy and passion. –Ray Randall, Americanaroots.com
Don “Doop” Duprie writes good, simple songs about love, loss, revenge and regret that will strike equally at the hearts of the sub-rural rednecks of my youth and urbas plant-rats of Doop's hometown of River Rouge. Not surprisingly, Doop’s music falls somewhere in the neighborhood of rustbelt-rock & country progenitors Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker.-Mitch Philips-Michiganbands.com
The record is no typical Motor City record but it's a collection of finest heartland & roots rock songs. Rootsy guitars, a lonesome harp, solid drumming, filled with stories from broken men, who didn't want to stop and go on and on.- Holger- Roadtracks Magazine
Blood River — one of the top ten local Detroit records of 2008
If modern country radio featured songwriting half as good as the material on this late '07 release, modern country radio would be a helluva lot better. Bill Holdship- Music editor of the Metrotimes |
